SAN JOSE — The company at the center of a nationwide college admissions cheating scandal provided “minimal consulting services” to the family of Joe Montana, the legendary San Francisco 49er revealed Thursday night.

“Mr. Singer’s company provided nothing more than minimal consulting services to our family, like so many other families, with the college application process,” Montana wrote in a tweet.

“Fortunately,” the Hall of Famer and four-time Super Bowl winner continued, “our kids were able to pick from a number of schools to attend due to their hard work and their merit.”

Montana and his wife, Jennifer, have four children, two daughters and two sons, both of whom played college football.

Golfer Phil Mickelson also said he has used William Rick Singer to find the right colleges for his three children, but that he never contributed to Singer’s foundation, according to the Associated Press.

“We’re not part of this,” Mickelson said. “Most every family that has used his company are not a part of it. That’s why I think we’re all so surprised.”

Federal prosecutors allege that 50 people paid millions of dollars Singer to fraudulently improve their kids’ scores on standardized tests and to bribe coaches at elite universities to declare them as sports recruits in exchange for generous donations to their programs.
